Boost is getting the S5!

[Firewill10]

So... how much do you think the S4 will be on Boost when then S5 comes out?

I currently have a stupidphone and could buy an SIII for $350 at BestBuy, or wait until the S5 comes out and get an S4... but at what price?

Well you could save the extra 150ish or if you check boost online you can get a better deal on the s3. They were running a sale on them. (used s3 was 160 I believe)

I'd guess 450.but S3 is still good spec wise.

I can't find it in the specs online, but the S4 does NOT have a Micro-SD card whereas the S III does. True?

CANCEL message. I found that S4 does have Micro-SD card.

They've never had a flagship launch like this one though, I'm expecting $700-$750....or we may see a slim down version of it that has an older CPU, 1080p screen only, and some other hardware cuts.

It will most likely be the same device as sprint maybe world phone and all

Galaxy devices always have SD card slot and replaceable battery or I haven't found one with out one

I work for Boost and the store owner just told me the S5 drops for us on April 1st, and it will be priced to compete with the iPhone 5S so expect around a $549 price tag. Imma start saving my cash already so I can get it as soon as it's available to the store I work for, so hopefully a few days before it's official release.

THANKS, ihackmobile. Any word as to how much the "old" S4 will be once the S5 drops?

I just talked to a source to confirm this...this is not true. The release date has not been given even to the main vendors yet.

I didn't think so .

I just talked to a friend who is the owner of several Boost Stores in the midwest, can confirm that store owners do not have this kind of information yet. As for vendors, my friend is going to ask them later today.

[DirtyDee]

They got the 5s and 5c the year it came out don't discount three deep pockets of Japan

It was officially announced that they're getting the S5...most likely it'll only be a month apart from when T-Mobile gets it.

[N3vermore]

Just got some information from someone who knows a little more

-Boost and Virgin are both getting the S5

-They will be out before May 12th (right now I'm being told April 25th)

-They will be Sprint Spark Capable* (This does not mean the billing system will have it for Boost/Virgin though, there will be more on this in about 2 weeks)

-The price will not be set at $599 or $699 like some have suggested

 

[luis32744]

Great news, but expect closer to $800 than $500.

S5 pre-orders are going around $700 and Boost has traditionally priced their handsets well above market value.

Yeah $600-700 price range sounds about right. Shoot it still beats getting a contract and paying activation fees and termination fees. I'll stick with Boost

Found this little link lurking on Boosts website, it'll probably be in the headline part tomorrow or Sunday

Samsung Galaxy S5 | Boost Mobile

Also! Boost Mobile Retailers are said to have the Galaxy S5 the week of May 11th. This is not set in stone though, but it is what I was told last week.

Personally, I am plenty happy with my rooted Boost S3 running Kitkat Roms. The new phones are tempting, but besides the price, which is a big issue for me, I would not buy one until I know that it can be rooted and debloated. Plus, the S5 will come with Knox. Not really a problem, unless they have it nailed down even tighter.

I hope that it will be like the S3, in that Boost and VM users will be able to use Sprint Roms.

 

[Deleted User]

hopefully if the rumors are true then we can get financing for this phone and future phones.

It's official...Galaxy S5 to Boost in May! Curious to see what the price will be but I can't imagine it will be more than $650 as other carriers are selling it off-contract.

Boost Galaxy S5

 

[N3vermore]

Price currently is set at $599 for Boost Mobile.

Unless full price sales don't do well, it will not go any higher

As for the Boost version being a "slim down" version much like the Galaxy S3, that has not been said yet. The product slate does not show any differences besides Boost ID and other Boost software.
